Instructions: For Onion Marmalade: In a saute pan, over high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onions and saute until caramelized, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, parsley, and rice wine vinegar. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

For Vegetable Quesadilla: Spread 3 tablespoons parsnip puree on one tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border. Cover the puree with 1/4 cup of the vegetables. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons white cheddar cheese. Top with one tortilla. In a saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When smoking hot, carefully lay the quesadilla in the oil. Fry on one side until golden brown and flip over and finish cooking, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and continue frying until all the quesadillas are fried. Additional oil may be need for frying.

To assemble cut the quesadillas into fourths. Arrange on a plate with the onion marmalade and cilantro sour cream. Garnish with grated Maytag white cheddar and chopped parsley.
